Objectives

With the implementation of the project, PGMET set itself the goal of upgrading the professional competencies of its students and supporting the professional development of specialist teachers in areas such as programming, graphic design, and automotive engineering. One of the main tasks was to improve foreign language skills for oral and written communication, as well as to expand the professional vocabulary of students and teachers. The project also focuses on strengthening transversal skills, which are necessary for better social adaptation of students and a more flexible psychological approach in the work of teachers. These skills are key to successful interaction and adaptation in different social and professional environments. Raising cultural awareness and familiarity with European values ​​was another important goal. By affirming democratic civic identity, the project aimed to encourage students and teachers to be active and informed citizens of Europe. In addition, the project aims to increase the institutional capacity of the school by introducing good practices for improving the quality of vocational education and training (VET) and building a network of Erasmus partnerships.

Background

Professional High School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (PGMET) is distinguished by its ambitious educational goals and successfully implemented projects. The vision of the school is based on four main values: building key competencies and high-quality professional training for future specialists, satisfying and inspiring professional development of the school staff, dynamic management of the quality system of vocational education and training (VET), European orientation towards digital and green economy. The self-assessment of PGMET for the last academic year showed good results. The school is distinguished by a high level of publicity and promotion of VET, good condition of the material and technical base, interactive learning, and an accessible architectural environment. There have been no student dropouts for five years now, and administrative services are at a high-level thanks to ICT. The teaching staff is also highly qualified. Among the main challenges facing the school today is increasing students' employability in the new digitized economy. This includes providing diverse forms of training, adapting to the European working environment, learning foreign languages ​​, and building professionals.
